Gilbertto Prado: M.A. (DESEJO)
Published by the author in 1995.
This work by the Brazilian artist is a lyric vision of the intertwined eroticism of the landscape and the human body. On the screen, which is devided into three fields, a man - probably a sailor - stares at a woman performing striptease. Clicking on one of the fields landscapes start to emerge and transform in front of our eyes, some are like meteorologic photographs made by satellites or like lunar scenes. More and more interesting surfaces take shape in this process. Meanwhile, man appears in the scene, naked, a torso, increasingly erotic, finally in a series of pornographic images. The peeping sailor finds a berth in the end.
